Undergraduate Science Courses

In mid 2007, UTS Science has restructured its first year subject offerings to provide greater flexibility and choice, allowing students to delay their choice of major study until the end of first year.

As a result, a number of our degrees previously offered as individually named degrees have been incorporated as majors in the NEW Bachelor of Science.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU

The flexibility of the new Bachelor of Science will allow you to discover and experience areas of study before committing yourself to an area of specialisation.

If you have already decided on a particular scientific career this degree will allow you to specialise and focus on your chosen discipline from day one. If you are still undecided, this course provides the flexibility to study a variety of subjects, thereby providing you with a broad scientific background.

Your degree will provide you with greater flexibility and improve the relevance of your studies to your career.

Students enrolling in the new Bachelor of Science will choose one of three foundation streams (first year). At the end of first year, you can choose the direction you wish to take, by choosing one of the majors that follow on from these foundation streams. You will then graduate with the named award specific to their Major (e.g. Bachelor of Science in Nanotechnology).

Students can also opt not to choose a specific major after the first year, but to choose a range of second and third year subjects to suit their interests. This flexibility enables students to focus on their career development in ways that match their interests while keeping their options open.

The awards that you can graduate from the NEW Bachelor of Science foundation streams are:

Mathematical Sciences Foundation Stream

Physical Sciences Foundation Stream

Life and Environmental Sciences Foundation Stream
